- If you order from multiple signings at once, your books will be shipped when the last signing ends. If you want your books to ship as they are released, please order them separately and pay appropriate shipping.

- Please double check to be sure you are ordering the correct book. Once the signing has ended and an order has been placed with the bookstore, we cannot change your order.

- We cannot be expected to notice if you accidentally order twice. If you think you have ordered but aren't sure, feel free to email us and we will check for you. Refunds will NOT be issued if you notice after the refund deadline has passed.

- Books will be signed around the author's schedule, therefore, we cannot *always* ship your order the day the book releases. This is a fluid process that will vary from signing to signing.

12 Days of Christmas Character Bliss: Day 8 With Zoraida Córdova!

WHAT TO GET THE TEENAGE MERMAN IN YOUR LIFE

Or, Tristan Hart’s Christmas suggestions.

Christmas shopping for anyone is hard. But for a merman
(merdude), it can get tricky. What do you get a mythical being? Ties just don’t
cut it, and an Xbox might not fare so well in a saltwater bath. Here are some
suggestions.

1. Waterproof watch. Saves a trip to the surface to get a
look at the sun. And not everyone can tell the time by the sun, you know?

2. Unlimited supply of bacon. Because there are only so many
ways to transform seaweed.

3. Burt’s Bees honey chapstick. Salt water is unforgiving on
the lips, and in THE SAVAGE BLUE, Tristan and Layla are going to need it.

4. Sunblock. Don’t worry; they don’t exactly burn like
albinos under the sun. But it’s a good excuse to rub down his broad shoulders.

5. Something to remember you by, like a lock of your hair or
a fingernail or a tooth. The journey is long and who knows when you’ll see each
other next. Plus, it’s inexpensive and you grow them yourself!

6. Mistletoe.

6. Rosetta Stone. Does it come in ancient mermaid sounds?
They sure sound funny when they communicate underwater and you don’t want to be
left out.

7. A compass. Just in case he can’t find his way home.

THE VICIOUS DEEP is out now in hardcover and paperback. The
sequel, THE SAVAGE BLUE is coming May 1st, 2013! Mer-ry Christmas
and Happy Holidays to all.

Nooo!! Why did it have to end that way?!? Why?!? Can I just say that I love how Morgan Rhodes can make you despise a character so much that you turn the pages waiting for their death, only to turn it all around in the next book. Some of ...
